Purpose: Previous studies have explored the impact of medical robots on patient care, but few studies have looked at the impact of information delivery by medical robots on patient information compliance. Patients and Methods: In this study, 290 subjects were recruited on a professional data collection platform from November 21 to December 10, 2024 to conduct scenario experiments to explore the effect of medical robot information transmission on cancer patients’ information compliance and its mechanism. Results: The experimental results show that medical robot information transmission has a significant impact on patient information compliance. Among them, patients’ preference for emotional information transmission by medical robots was higher than that for professional information transmission. At the same time, we found that information processing fluency and perceived psychological stress have a chain mediating effect on medical robot and patient information compliance. Conclusion: This study further expands the extension of information processing theory, strengthens the role of emotional factors and cognitive factors in human-computer interaction, and provides a new program for effective clinical nursing.
